Lefty, I can see your point but YOU are the one cheating...not us. It is YOUR responsibility to do your homework and contact providers who make it easy for you to do so.
Personally, I hate phone calls and understand how complicated it can be for married and professional men to do. It is also rather difficult for me to "take" phone calls, unless I am out of town. You guys are not the only ones with families and careers. The ONLY time I require a phone call is to get the location and chat a bit. If I don't like you on the phone, it's a no go.
As for text messages...don't bother me with that crap unless you are my BF or GF. Texting is not how I run a business here...it's for sh*ts and giggles just like Eccie lol.
Other than that, all my bookings are via email only...up until the day of. Most guys tend to wait for the wife to go to sleep, call from work, or a hobby phone. It's really not the providers fault if you can't get to a discreet location to do this, but asking them to go outside of their comfort zone for you...well, I will just stop here.
